Fall Vehicle Maintenance Checklist

fall car maintenance tips



As you settle back into your fall routine of sport practices and school drop offs, we would
like to recommend that you review the following fall vehicle maintenance checklist to
ensure your car is in tiptop shape!


1. Check your oil.
Oil keeps your engine happy, and the engine keeps your car running, so this one is very
important! If your car is older, you will have a dipstick under the hood where you can
manually check your oil levels. Some newer cars only allow you to check oil levels
through the in-car computer, so you will have to reference your user manual if you’re not
sure how to check your oil. If your oil levels are low, it’s important to make sure that you
add more oil or take it to a shop for an inspection.


2. Check your tire pressures & tread depth.
Making sure that your tires are in good shape is not only a way to save money by
increasing your gas mileage, but tires in poor condition can also be a major safety issue.
Over time, it’s not uncommon for tires to lose a bit of air, so if your tire pressures are low it
may not be an immediate cause for concern. Give your tires a good visual inspection
and make sure that the tire has no punctures. Check to make sure that the tire has a
good amount of tread all around and that there are no uneven wear patterns on the tire. If
you notice low-depth or uneven wear patterns, it might be time for a tire rotation, or
perhaps a new set of tires.


3. Check the exterior lights and signals.
As the days get shorter, this one is especially important since you will most likely find
yourself driving more at nighttime. Take some time to turn on your headlights, the high
beams, and brake lights to ensure they are all working. Remember that if you notice your
turn signal blinking quicker than normal, that this might mean that one of your lightbulbs
is out.


4. Give your car a good car wash and wax.
The Georgia sunshine can be harsh on the exterior of your car! Giving your car a good
car wash will help your car feel fresh again, it will also help remove things like sap, or
magnesium chloride from the paint. Waxing the car will make sure that the exterior of
your car stays in prime condition as long as possible.


5. Replace Windshield Wipers & Top Off Washer Fluid.
The sun can also cause windshield wipers to crack, which means you might not be able
to count on them come our first big snow storm of the season. Replace your windshield
wipers and top off your washer fluid to make sure you're ready for winter. This is also a
good time to give a good visual inspection to your windshield. If you notice any cracks or
chips, you can call a local expert.


6. Check coolant and brake fluid levels.
The brake and coolant fluids might be a bit more challenging to check than just checking
the oil, but they are both important. The coolant keeps your engine running at optimal
temperatures, and brake fluids will ensure that your brakes are working effectively. A
quick Google search or peek in your owner’s manual can help you find the specifics on
checking these fluid levels in your car.

Your car is important, and Georgia winters are very unpredictable! Do these quick six
maintenance checks, and you’ll be well on your way for a winter of safe driving. From all
of us at Dollars For Junk Cars, drive safely out there!
